DENISE MARLOW PÊREL: LOOKING BACK ON ZARAH HECTOR’S MURDER
Sergeant with a heart JAY-DEE CYSTER @jaydeecyster

t is easy to feel comfortable in the presence of Sergeant Denise Marlow Pêrel. Engaging with this resident of Paarl, hardly an imposing figure behind her desk at the Kuils River Police Station, is like engaging with a mom or aunt – comfortable, easy and jovial. Hardly the characteristics you’d expect the investigating detective in the murder case of the late Zarah Hector to possess.
After the trial and successful conviction of Ronaldo van Rooyen and Tawfeeq Ibrahim for murder and aggravated robbery, Perêl says she is somewhat relieved to put this behind her after two years. Both Van Rooyen and Ibrahim have been sentenced to life imprisonment without early parole, as well as 15 years’ imprisonment for aggravated robbery. Both have also been declared unfit to possess a firearm. Having worked as a police officer for 19 years, she marks this as the most difficult case she has had to work on, both profession-

Pêrel has been working as a member of the serious and violent crimes department at Kuils River Police Station since 2008, after starting at the Kuils River Detective Branch in 2005. Hector was reported missing on 16 March 2016 and after not being found, the docket was sent to Pêrel for investigation. Following up on leads provided by witness

statements from persons who were aware Van Rooyen and Ibrahim had wanted to sell the BMW Z3 belonging to Hector’s boyfriend in Observatory, she interviewed both of them, who were still suspects at this stage. “Accused number one (Van Rooyen) took me to various places to make me believe Zarah was still alive. He spun me many stories, even telling me at one stage that she was being held hostage in Parow. They also took me to a drug den in Parksig, saying that Zarah had gone there with a dealer” she says.
